Like everyone said stepping back is a good start.. but also try to drive your hands and the knob of the bat inside the ball (between where you are and the ball) this will help get your hands through and help you to not get jammed so bad.

You could be crowding the plate or have a natural tendency to step into the ball. To know why you're hitting off the handle of the bat you really need someone to watch and analyze your swing. However, you should be able to face a fence at a bat's lenghth and swing the bat without touching the fence. Make sure you bring the knob of the bat to the ball first then follow through.

holding it tighter is not going to do anything. This is not that big of a problem, it is not a habit, you can fix it easily. When you get jammed it means you are late on a pitch, usually and inside pitch. You can either stand further away from the plate, or choke up on the bat so you get it around quicker/ stand further back in the box.

Back off the plate a little. OR, learn how to snap the bat forward with your wrists better. I learned how to bat from YouTube batting videos. Might help...

Step back from the plate or if you like being that close to the plate bring your hands in and try to go to the opposite field.

Step back off the plate a little, don't swing at inside pitches.

Hold the bat by the barrel.

Take a step back from where the ball's being delivered, or don't swing at it and take a ball (if you're playing a game).

move back about 4-6 inches farther from the plate (not farther from the pitcher).

Back up half a step.
